The father accused of abusing his five children in
the so-called house of horrors in Springs burst into tears in court today as an
explosives expert testified about the illegal fireworks he found.

A suitcase containing fireworks with nails tied to
them was found in the home, police explosives expert Colonel Johan Alberts
testified in the High Court in Pretoria.

Alberts said he found six firecrackers with
6cm-long nails attached with masking tape, one without nails, and 10 boxes of
fireworks.
